Oliver Stone became famous by relying on Vietnam War movies. He is an innovative director. His "Vietnam War Trilogy", "Field Platoon", "Born on July 4" and "Heaven and Earth" used a lot of violent elements, which became his personal style.He who is good at visualizing violence also has restrictions on himself, that is, moral responsibility[24](Phoenix Online Review)。
What is striking about Oliver Stone is his unique talent in directing.From "Field Platoon", which was praised as one of the "Vietnam War Trilogy" in 1986, to "Nixon" in 1995, he has shot many works reflecting political themes, making people pay more attention to his special skills in dealing with war, chaos and conspiracy;But Oliver Stone himself does not fully agree with this[11](Sohu Entertainment Review)。
